Wikipedia is actually blacked out, but only if you have java script enabled. I thought it chickened out, but no.


I've seen a few other sites besides Google doing something as well.

Just open the Spanish version with Chrome and use the translate button.

Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge

For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more.

I get the page that I am looking for, for a few seconds, then this pops up.

You can use the Spanish page as mentioned above.


Or just disable java scripting and the blackout doesn't appear.
